I replied to Mark on his blog that I didn’t like using the term Human and whilst I don’t use Human Being much either it is a great reminder that we’re not Human doings.
We were decorating mugs at a ‘Pots of Confidence’ workshop last night. Most of the evening was taken up decorating a mug or plate with words, pictures or designs to inspire. My house is full of such inspiration – postcards, pictures, quotes on every surface. Someone visited last week and couldn’t believe I had my mission and values pinned up in my bathroom :-).
I was wondering why doing this was important and why it worked. Then I realised we do it every day for our To Do lists. That is we write a list and check it regularly. We even write reminders for ourselves on post its. So why not do it for our To Be lists?
If I look around my office at my To Be lists then I am reminded to: Love, have Patience, Be the change I wish to see in the world, Joy, Awaken, Boldly reclaim my power and even to Grow wings and fly. They’re accompanied by many of my brother’s beautiful landscape photographs.
What’s on your To Be list and where will you put your reminder?
